unlike most people, I didn’t like Juno the first time I saw it. I thought it tried too hard to be catchy, too hard to be “indie,” and too hard to be unique. But the more I watched it, the more I started to like the unusual and overdone quirkiness of the characters and I especially liked it more when I came to film school and actually met people who were like the characters in the movie. I’ve come to realize that Diablo Cody wasn’t just trying to make a movie that’s just too damn cool but was trying to introduce the world to these people who have nothing better to do than be with each other, create banter & quips and catch up on their pop culture references. It’s like a movie about the Quentin Tarantino’s of the world. It’s adorable.
